Hold down the left mouse button on the map and drag to scroll.

This is a War Office map of the Cape Peninsula if 1909. The map shows all the
terrestrial transportation routes, including the spur at Glencairn. Interestingly,
even though the Sea Point railway was only finally removed in 1929, it is not shown
on this map. This may have been an accidental omission, since none of the railway
to the harbour is shown either.
